Marseille tramway service reduced

The tramway network in Marseille faced disruptions on Saturday, October 24, a day marked by social protests. The local transport authority, the Régie des transports métropolitains (RTM), had predicted possible disruptions and decided to reduce tram service in the city center.

T2 tram line halted completely

The T2 tram line, which runs between Arenc and Blancarde, was fully suspended on Saturday. This decision was made to ensure the safety of passengers and staff amid the social mobilization.

T3 tram line partially affected

The T3 tram line, connecting Gèze and La Gaye, operated only between Sainte-Marguerite and La Gaye. The rest of the route was closed to prevent any potential conflicts with protesters.

T1 tram line unaffected

In contrast, the T1 tram line, which runs from Noailles to Les Caillols, continued to operate normally. This line was not impacted by the disruptions affecting other parts of the network.

Public transport alternatives functioning

At the time, the bus and metro networks in Marseille were operating without issues. This provided an alternative for commuters affected by the tramway disruptions.

Potential for more disruptions

Authorities warned that if the social actions continued or intensified, there could be further disruptions across the public transport network in the coming days.
